Transportation

Bridges and parking decks are no exception in the infrastructure deficit.

Because the city, state/provincial and federal agencies are facing funding issues, infrastructure technologies have to prove their worth in durability and longevity — with little to no maintenance costs. Hamilton Kent designs and manufactures rubber “strip seals” and compression pavement seals used in the expansion joints employed in bridge and parking garage decks. These seals are designed to provide both optimum flexibility and durability so bridge decks and pavement won’t crack as they expand and contract in ever-changing temperatures and weather conditions.

In addition to this Hamilton Kent also manufactures a heavy duty rubber approach slab bearing to provide the foundation for a smooth transition from the highway pavement to the bridge deck.
